Fiorentina’sNeto, Borja Valero and Gonzalo Rodriguez and Napoli’s Gonzalo Higuain may all be available to start Saturday’s Coppa Italia Final.

La Viola began the week with uncertainty over the physical condition and availability of their first-choice goalkeeper Neto, playmaker Valero and defender Rodriguez for tomorrow evening’s Cup Final in Rome.

Speculation is that the trio will start, with Rodriguez set to line up alongside Nenad Tomovic, Stefan Savic and Juan Manuel Vargas in a back four.

Valero is seen as likely to start in midfield alongside David Pizarro and Alberto Aquilani, whilst attack looks set to be with Josip Ilicic and Joaquin Sanchez flanking Alessandro Matri, suggesting a place on the bench for Giuseppe Rossi if he is passed fit for involvement at all.

Further conjecture surrounding Montella’s plans for the final is that Valero may actually play in a ‘false 9’ role in place of Matri, and that Mati Fernandez would then come into midfield.
